  1. Forsyth BYOT in the News

  2. Why BYOT? • Increases student engagement • Improves student organization (using tools found on devices) • Provides real world experience with technology • Ensures students have skills needed to excel

  3. BYOT is about instruction, increasing engagement, and learning in the 21st Century

  4. What is TRUST? Think about privacy before posting Recognize others' work and ideas Unleash learning with technology Stand up to inappropriate use Treat myself and others with respect • Students must follow county’s Responsible Use Procedures. Each grade level will be educated on this. • Below is our “TRUST” video that is being shown to all classes. • TRUST Student Presentation

  5. What Technologies? • Laptops • Netbooks • (iOS devices) iPods, iPhones, iPads • Smart Phones (Android, etc.) • Kindles • Tablets Remember… It’s not about the technology~ It’s about the learning!

  6. B.Y.O.T. in Action

  7. What BYOT Isn’t • Playing games for the sake of playing games (Always ask yourself- What standard does this address?) • Busy work • Students checking email and texting friends about random things • A reward activity • Isolated Activity- BYOT should be seamlessly integrated into the curriculum.

  8. Logistics • Students are responsible for their device security and damages. Classrooms will be locked when teachers and students are not in the room. • Internet access will be through school BYOT wireless network with school filters in place. • Students will complete a B.Y.O.T. Student Agreement detailing expectations and responsibilities.

  9. Logistics • Students will need to print projects at home (if they want to print something from their device). • If a student wants to email the teacher their project, then they will need to do this from home. (Most ways to do this at school may be blocked). • It is important that students remember to plug in and charge their devices fully before bringing them into school. We have very limited access to charging devices at school. (Most of our plugs are used for school issued equipment),
